Hello,
I have noticed this bug in ncurses for many years now. Here is a sample
program that causes ncurses to get into an infinite loop. This only
happens when TERM=xterm. If TERM=linux it does not cause a problem.
#include <ncurses.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
initscr();
keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
define_key("\eO", 720);
endwin();
}
